 I had to actually look on the map. I've lived in Alaska my whole life and have never been to Shishmaref. I was in Kotzebue a long, long time ago. I don't remember much about it, but haven't been to that area very much. But Shishmaref is a pretty small community. What is the population of Shishmaref anyway? Shishmaref has around 600 people. I would say it's pretty close to 600 people that live here.
